1968. American troops take off for Vietnam. The honorable Martin Luther King, Jr. tragically takes his final breath for justice. Apollo 8 takes flight with astronauts Anders, Lovell, and Borman orbiting the moon and taking turns reading from the book of Genesis on the largest television broadcast up to that time. Trinity takes its first steps toward becoming a non-denominational, Bible believing, missions minded, charismatic church where the gifts of the Holy Spirit could be expressed and a true family atmosphere enjoyed. We remain passionate about equipping and releasing the next generation of Christian leaders, pastors, worship leaders, and missionaries.

Our Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, our guide for determining what we believe and how we behave.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; perfect in love and justice, slow to anger, quick to forgive.

We believe in Jesus, God who became man: his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, his atoning death on the cross, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and his future return in power and glory.

We believe that all people become children of God and are saved from their sins by putting their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus and to make Him known. The Holy Spirit gives new life, indwells, guides, instructs and empowers believers with supernatural gifts and the fruit of the Spirit.

We believe Jesus is still healing people through His church today: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Our Vision

We desire to see people encounter God, be transformed through His presence and grow in relationship with Him. This happens through worship, God speaking to us through the Bible, prayer, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We seek to love people by fostering community relevant to all ages, being a place where people can find healing and restoration (spiritually, emotionally, physically, relationally), and sharing the Gospel locally and globally. We purpose to raise up leaders and equip believers for the work of the ministry.

Our Leadership Team

At Trinity we believe strongly that our ministers are all the members of the congregation, men and women, young and old. We are passionate about equipping and releasing the next generation of Christian leaders, pastors, worship leaders, and missionaries.

Scott grew up going to church, but at sixteen he noticed a group of his peers were totally sold out for Jesus. God convicted him that there was more to life than trying to be good and going to church, so he completely surrendered his life to Jesus, was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and has been serving Him ever sense.
